It was Walter Benjamin. Who knew? Someone must immediately notify the All England Summarize Proust Society.

Proust and his masterpiece, Remembrance of Things Past, will be my obsession, fixation, demon, cattle prod, hobby and motivator in 2007. Will reading Proust, thinking about the man and his milieu and his great novel inform my writing?

:-) Do you read Proust in English or French? I took a Proust course in college, where we read him (or tried!) in French. I've always sort of wanted to read him again but I don't have the energy for the French and feel sheepish about reading him in English. What do you think?
In college, many, oh, so many moons ago, I read some Proust in French and well as English. Ah, it was beautiful and flowed so wonderfully, but my "literary" French got up and left me with only menu, weather and "ou est le gar du Nord?" kind of French.
Read it it English! Be proud. I mean, how many people actually read Proust? Do you see him on the best seller list? Mais non! He will reward you.

Previously, I’ve been impressed with Microsoft Word’s Auto-Summarize feature.
So, I’ve run the e-text of Moncrieff’s translation through the machine, and after 2 iterations, have come up with a condensed version for those who want to cut to the chase, as they say, of Swann’s Way. [...]

Grapeshot--For God's sake, girl, go to Audible.com and LISTEN to it! I am COMPLETELY addicted to Audible.com. I finished listening to Swann's Way a week or so ago and it was FANTASTIC! You can imagine my disappointment when I found out that the 'little phrase' that played when Swann fell in love with Odette was a composer and song that Proust made up. Oh, I'm still upset over that! I wanted so much to hear it!
